Update on my hi-miler Z project
After 6 months of wrenching and spending money on parts, 1991 #302 is getting close to being driveable again. For those unfamiliar, I bought this car sight unseen from the original owner in CA, with 188k miles on it, for $9700. It already had a Fluidyne radiator, and a 92+ FX3 system with Bilstein modified programming.
Since then, I've done: All 4 hubs replaced with NOS Oil cooler lines replaced Rear suspension redone with Banski rod-ends Front suspension redone with poly bushings and Moog Tierod ends ZFDoc short shifter with lockout retained New lube, new plugs, and new rear seal on ZF New oil pan gasket, breather box gasket, oil filter housing gasket New water pump New coils, plugs, wires FIC reconditioned Bosch injectors 93-95 Injector housings with mild cleanup of injector bosses New fuel system o-rings, new fuel filter, new Bosch Turbine fuel pumps, new sender assembly C5 brakes in front, with powerslot rotors, and powerslot rotors in rear DRM Brake bias spring Braided stainless brake lines Jeal headers, swain tech coated New AC compressor, condensor, evaporator, accumulator Painted top end LGAFF-style Floorpan repairs (careless jacking some time ago) Interior cleaned - replaced some carpet pieces with 94+ TruVette style carpet, other stock pieces cleaned. '96 Collector Edition sport seats Repaired or replaced numerous electrical connectors that had become brittle and cracked Deleted Secondary throttle blades and associated hardware Rebuilt starter Rebuilt alternator Marc Haibeck PROM A-molds New Spicer u-joints all around New pinion seal, and stub axle seals in rearend, plus new lube ZFDoc Beam Plates New shifter lower boot and bellows There's still lots more to come, but I haven't given any updates lately... here's a couple of pics, as it sits now:

Re: Update on my hi-miler Z project
You worked your A$$ off, Andrew. Great job, almost done!
Just to be clear, you have not touched the internals of the motor? Just supporting maintenance items? I'm curious to see how long a stock LT5 will motor along! |
